LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Permission slips and parent information letters describing the Children’s Museum of Art and Science art and science camp on Saturday, May 2, have been delivered to all Lake County schools.

Any fourth through sixth grader is eligible to attend this free camp.

Parents also can download these documents by going to the Lake County Office of Education Web site, http://www.lake-coe.k12.ca.us/ . Click on “calendar,” scroll forward to May and click on May 2.

Two sets of documents are posted; one set for students in the Konocti and Lucerne districts, and one for everyone else.

Permission slips can be turned into your school office and are due Friday, April 17.
 
Students at the camp will enjoy a free lunch sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Clearlake, Middletown, Kelseyville and Lakeport. Morning snacks and water have been donated by Foods, Etc.
 
Students will participate in three hands-on stations at each of the two camp venues, the Taylor Observatory and the Ely Stage Stop.

These sessions will cover a wide variety of activities: dissecting owl pellets, making sand candles, folk singing and dancing, a planetarium show, and stations which demonstrate life in the 1850s.

In addition, the Redbud Audubon Society is sponsoring a one-hour raptor show. Jenny Papka of Native Bird Connections will bring owls, hawks, and falcons which have been rescued and rehabilitated.
 
Registration is limited to 120 students. All families will receive a phone call home during the week of April 27 to May 1 to verify enrollment in the camp.

Parents and adult volunteers are always welcome. Call Carolynn Jarrett at 707-994-2878 for more information.
